Mediation (AN
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE REDRESSAL FORUM IN JUDICIAL SYSTEM) (A lecture given on the
subject on Mediation Process and meditation (as administered in India) by
undersigned Advocate, YOGESH KUMAR SAXENA(as Representative of Middle East
Asia) at World Parliament Experiment in Bonn( Germany) on 25th feb. 2008) What
is mediation? This question may agitate your mind. Negotiation seldom works and
litigation begins between parties. Mediation facilitated negations between two
people. It is an integrated and distributed bargaining, when no individual
meeting of mind are feasible. It is confidential and a non verbal communication
of desire. It uses the language of silences. A desire for conveying the pre
mediation option begins, as the functioning of the Courts are adversial in
attitudes. The hostilities between people are more propounded. There is no
method to control the behavior of litigants, except by observation of some
indifferent attitudes of attachment with detachments. Society may play a
prominent part in mediation. It may compel the parties to resolve the dispute,
in case minor scuffle begins on the issues of wrong driving of vehicle by a
cyclist. The people support the version of the weaker side as they themselves
belong to downtrodden class and they may have internal prejudice against the
vehicle owner, but a mediator may have nothing against car owner or
pedestrians, as he as a mediator has given up this carnal desire of internal
prejudice by the passage of time of experiences. Mediator has to expose the
unclear underlying core dispute of hostility. He has to break the Impasse. He
has to gather information regarding reluctance. Than a trust is build and
support start. He should control the command of process and find out an
opportunity to suggest. In matrimonial disputes, one should study the problem
underlying between the husband and wife. There is unrealistic situation of
human behavior between man and woman. Man by nature is dominating to pacify his
biological lust, while woman try to get a command over psychological sphere of
trust, which she may seldom get out of the schedule of working partners. This
is the betrayal of relationship. Those women, who are exertive in nature and
are more adamant, may loose the battle. Similarly if the male partner is more
authoritative, the family relationship may come to an end. Thus, we may
identify the problem from this angle by reposing the confidence in both the
sides. Sometimes, the business disputes are underlying beneath the curtains and
a mediator has to tear out the veil and to expose the reality of the truth.
They are adamant to resolve as they are unrealistic in their approach. A
mediator has to listen to stake their claims. The first step is silence and to
listen them patiently. The casting of the issues, designing a solution,
negotiating with options, motivation, confidence, optimistic, artistic venture,
inculcate mind, unrealistic expectations, proper analysis and flexibility by derivations
to repose a faith in mediation instead of adjudication with uncertainty of the
outcome to the parties may solve the problem of impasse between the litigants.
One has to find out the problem first. People are in such a haste to resolve a
dispute as they seldom identify problems and start fighting on non-issues based
conflict. Sometimes, there is solution in the problem. One may have an art to
identify it and to place it in correct prospective. Mediator has to build a
golden beach with pure water to take a dip inside there and then they may live
in one cottage. There is no scarcity of the product. One has to arrive to an
agreement. Mediator has to exercise his wisdom with full creditability for his
position. He should avoid fault finding tendency. After all, he is negotiating
between two individuals. Men seldom control their periodical outburst. Let the
parties may cry and blame each other. Mediator is a motivator to pacify them.
Thus, the exchange of information gathered through negotiation must be hidden.
One may provide an obstruction in the process of mediation and as such the
dispute may resolve quickly in order to avoid obstruction in the process.
Sometimes, break in the process is required by shuttle mediation. Confidence is
the beginning of the trust otherwise the agreement of the minds of the parties
may not arrive. The agreement may be efficient and capable of being enforced.
Mediator may tender his apology, if required after indulging himself in the
problem of the parties, without looking to the individuals. The body language
and his optimistic attitude towards the eradication of the problem and personal
warming of the parties by the mediator, like a mentor, may win their consent to
an agreement. Even if he does not share with their views but problem must be
appreciated. Second thought may be invited from the parties. The obligations to
pay and repay must be encouraged on ethnic compulsion. Encouragement like
recital of holy sermons of Gita by Lord Krishna, embracing rejection may be the
guiding factor during mediation. It is not critics, who bound, credit is given
to the man, who is in the arena to meet efforts. Mediation is the type of work,
very challenging with responsibility for deliverance from a state of disharmony
to the state of harmony. Mediation is rewarding in the skill of interactive
workshop. It is a dispute resolution process. There is the difference between
mediation and conciliation. It has got the different pursuit then arbitration.
In the process of conciliation, conciliator is viewed as authority and his
discussion is limited to the tradition limited right. In arbitration there is
no bargaining and he controls the out come of the dispute resolution process.
There are the rules of evidence and burden of proof and enforcement of award.
Thus mediation is better than conciliation and arbitration. The process of
“Mediation” has got more independence and less interferences from other outside
agencies having the transparency and self restriction upon the traditional
Anglo- Saxon- Jurisprudence of strict observation of locus- standee and
rigmarole of technicalities for adjudication of the dispute and since the
decision arrived is of the parties within the periphery of permissible limit
under due process of law, one feel better satisfaction towards performance of
its functioning. After all litigants have their own choice in the matter of
their selection of a “Mediator”. It is an identification of mind as an
independent personality as the tenability to enter into harmony and oneness is
resulting in mental and physical suffering. The sense of obstruction and
disappointment may lead towards disintegration of society. Pessimistic
approach, the energy gets deplete, object conscienceless leading to a state of
starvation and one’s Consciousness. Gita says ‘he whose mind is not shaken by
diversity, who does not hanker of the pleasure, and is free from attachment,
that meets with everything good or bad, neither rejoices nor hates his wisdom
is fixed’. The crucial conditions are still having their predominating
conditions in the legal profession. This is on account of their non-
adaptability in the profession by such fundamentalist elements, which provide
the top priorities to the conservative approach instead of liberal out look
towards them. . The unfortunate, who have the better experiences towards the
problems of life, are put to the disadvantageous situation. Justice is a
virtue, which transcends all barriers in the way of administration of justice.
The credibility of the judicial institution is founded upon the faith of the
common man in its proper functioning. The law has to bend before justice. No
court can restore the broken heart of the justice and he should provide such
protection, which is necessary for them like dutiful parents. The decision may
not be repugnant to the normal concept and the basic unit of the society may
not be allowed to be influenced by immorality. Thus the ultimate responsibility
is by enunciating the foundation of a system on which administration of justice
may get the public confidence in our judicial system. The mind of a person have
steady wisdom and he is not to distressed calamity, he is not affected by the
afflictions arising form thunder, lightening, storm, flood etc., and fear
arising from the venomous and ferocious. When he is pleased in an affluent
condition, he does not long for sensual pleasures. The body with the controlled
mind possesses pious understanding or evenness of mind. He does not rejoice in
pain that may be fall on him. He has life or body as he identified self, being
routed in the self. He will not praise any body when later does any good to him
nor sensor any one when one does him any harm. For when a man thinks of
objects, attachment form desire is born, from desire anger arises, form anger
comes delusion, form dilution loss of memory, form loss of memory the
destruction of discrimination, form distraction of discrimination, he perishes
as he is swept away by impulse of passion and emotion and he will act
irrationally. One has to abandon all desires in the world be free form
attachment an latent impressions doing everything out worldly and thus playing
one’s part in the world. He has to cut the bond of attachment form all sides,
by the sword of knowledge. He should to play with life and should be loyal to
ideals and must spiritualist out his thoughts, emotions and actions. Soul
require solitude, In order to get peace mind has to become calm. The physical
existence must be free form all thoughts daily for sometime and furring the
period of wisdom dawns. Thought mediation, one may study his true and realise
he as spirit of freedom, spirit of unity, spirit of immortality. Live in truth
by becoming truthful; love all, for love is unity, by reflecting upon thought.
The man bondage may perpetuate slavery, Beware of lust, greed, anger passion
hatred, jealousy and the unlimited wants of five senses. They are enemies.
There is no spiritual knowledge without love. Spiritual realisation
automatically makes us love every body. Truth and universal love raise us to a
spiritual status and we can see the divine life. This is the highest vision
which comes when he realise God in his heart and surrender himself completely
to him and there by wiping out his ego sense. Purity truth and Constant
remembrance of God comes by practice and in pure mind otherwise passions will
create havoc. Desire move the sense, Tapas cuts the senses and annihilates
desires. Tapas. is worship meditations. Thus the path of spiritualism is meant
for controlling the bondage of. In this manner there will not be required by
thought control nor the restrictions can be imposed upon such individual who
has given his oneself to the swept of impotent without feeling any
discontentment by the swept of impulsive notions. This is required for the
rectification of prevailing maladies in the society. I consider that these
message is one of the best exercises to adopt in mind before attending the
session of mediation. These glorious traditions may provide smooth function in
process of “mediation”. “what you are is god’s gift you, What you become is
your gift to god”. “The route you take depends on the decision you make”. Keep
in your mind-: (1) Is it the truth? (2)Is it fair to all concerned? (3) Will it
build goodwill and better friendship? (4) Will it be beneficial to all
concerned?. In this process, one has to adopt these introspection in your
Characteristics of human behavior. 1. The most selfish one letter word. ‘i’,
avoid it. 2. The most satisfying two letter word. ‘ we’ use it. 3. The most
poisonous three letter word. ‘ego’ kill it. 4. The most used four letter word.
‘love’ value it. 5. The most pleasing five letter word. ‘smile’ keep it. 6. The
fastest spreading six letter word. ‘ rumour’ stop it. 7. The working seven
letter word. ‘success’ achieve it. 8. The most enviable eight letter word. ‘
jealousy’ distance it. 9. The most powerful nine letter word. ‘knowledge’
acquire it. Sincerely yours Yogesh Kumar Saxena, Advocate, High Court,
